• Nothing happens when I type a URL in the address bar and press ENTER. Nothing happens if I type anything in the search bar.

The uninstall feature does not completely uninstall Firefox because it does not delete my favorites who are all still present.

Now, the error message no longer appears, and I don't remember what it was.

• Don't search google when a Word is written into the address bar.

  Already when I typed a word or more in the address bar, it would be to do a search on google. Now when I get back a Word and press enter it takes me for a while the page with the following message to this topic:

  502 bad Gateway
  Nginx/1.3.7

  To do this, search google when I type more than one word.

  Yes, when there is a single word, Firefox try it with www. at the beginning and .com at the end (depending on your situation). To avoid this, disable the feature of "correction" here:

  (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

  (2) in the filter box, type or paste the Correction and take a break while the list is filtered

  (3) double-click the browser.fixup.alternate.enabled to return false. This should take effect immediately with the following search, and you can close this tab.

  In all recent versions of firefox (that I remember), I was able to type in any word in the address bar and it would take me to what was usually the first result of google, now it takes me just a google search.
  For example, I could type in "Wikipedia" and it would take me the wikipedia House directly, now it takes me to a google search the word "wikipedia".

  The change between Firefox 3.6. * and Firefox 4 is how the location bar search. In Firefox 3.6, it uses Google search "search by name". With innovation by the name search, it performs a search on Google and if there is a clear match he will take you on the site, otherwise, it shows the Google search result. With Firefox 4 it performs just a search on Google, if you type in something that is not recognized as a URL.

  2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
  3. Locate the preference keyword. URL, double-click it and change its value on the link below

  You can also make visible Protocol.

  You can set the pref browser.urlbar.trimURLs false on the topic: config page to see the http: Protocol.

  You can set the pref browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled false on the topic: config page to turn off the development of the field and to better discern the full URL.

• Since I have no address bar, I can't type config in the address bar to activate the address bar.

  New laptop. Downloaded Firefox and could not activate the address bar doesn't so no back arrows or hometown icon or research, etc.
  Please do not suggest that I access the controls in the address bar. I do not have an address bar to access anything whatsoever.
  I don't want to customize the address bar. I just want to be able to see and use the controls in each illustration to the getting started and help watch are here, as they were on my old laptop.

  First of all, make sure that you are not in the mode "full screen" of Firefox. The F11 key toggles between the normal modes and full screen.

  Second, you can activate the individual toolbars on and outside using either:

  • Right click on an empty area of the tab bar
  • Click the "+" button on the tab bar
  • Press the Alt key > menu view > toolbars

  The address box is on the Navigation toolbar.

  If the Navigation bar is displayed but the address box is missing, your bars may be damaged. You can use the 'Restore Default Set' button in the Customize dialog box to restore. Customize Firefox commands, buttons, and toolbars.

  A little luck?
